You can now hear in full on the BBC’s website the first part of Stephen Hawking’s 2016 Reith Lecture—‘Do Black Holes Have No Hair?’ Just above, listen to Hawking’s lecture while you follow along with an animated chalkboard on which artist Andrew Park sketches out the key points in helpful images and diagrams. We alerted you to the coming lecture this past Tuesday, and we also pointed you toward the paper Hawking recently posted online, ‘Soft Hair on Black Holes,’ co-authored with Malcolm J.

Researchers at the MRC Weatherall Institute of Molecular Medicine have developed a new platform based on the revolutionary CRISPR/Cas9 technology, to alter the way human cells respond to external signals, and provide new opportunities for stopping cancer cells from developing.

Rapid growth in demands for wireless data, from mobile devices to networked cars and smart power grids, has created a pressing need for faster, more robust internet connections and broader coverage. The next-generation of wireless, mobile technologies on the horizon, including 5G, will provide unprecedented internet connectivity that is much faster than current standards. This collection of recent MIT Technology Review content focuses on how the latest in wireless technologies are opening up a new world of richer and more significant data and video experiences.

Computer scientists at the University of Washington (UW) are working on ways for robots to crowdsource their problems when learning new tasks. If successful, this approach could lead to robots that are capable of asking for assistance when it comes to figuring out how to carry out household tasks.
